There was a story today on Reuters by Sharon Begley titled: “Seeking the roots of a U.S. soldier’s rampage.” This was simply a writer for the mainstream media looking for a way to excuse the horrible murder of 16 innocent civilians, 9 of them children. What a pathetic display of a cold hearted and emotionless attempt to lessen the severity of such an atrocity!
I don’t doubt that this sergeant who killed these innocent people in southern Afghanistan had problems, as anyone willing and capable of such an act could not possibly have a soul, but attempting to blame his actions on “mental illness” is beyond any realm of honesty. It is also an attempt to cover up the real problems, which are the continuous wars of aggression against innocent peoples living in countries that have never harmed the U.S.
Begley should be completely ashamed for her efforts to shield the murderer, and the government that created this murderer. She should have the guts to tell the truth, instead of attempting to protect the military that accepts all orders to kill, regardless of any unjustified and immoral cause!
